I like how he equates "trying something different" to musical credibility. Pumpkins peaked at Siamese Dream, period.

All this other shit he tried ultimately killed the band and they had retirement show after retirement show and shitty album sales, etc.

He started showing up in ECW, he shaved his head and wore the same outfit all the time, he collects cats and now, this article was linked on Yahoo where he is as referred to as "Bill"... that's says it all.

I'm going to make this the official thread if Paulson is cool with it.

Foo Fighters used to be a kinda quirky band that was hard to hate even if you didn't like a new album/song of theirs. They had a certain vibe that you kinda had to respect. I still can't find myself hating them, but they are basically just a "classic rock" type of band now. They talk about learning to love again or make it through hard times and cliche shit like that.

What's that familiar smell? Ahhhh yes, PUSSY.

You just gotta know how Corgan operates... Did you notice the wordplay? SIAMESE DREAM? That's their best album, the cats are just pawns in him reminding us of his former past greatness. He probably dropped the cats and got on his Facebook page on his phone immediately after the last pic was snapped. If this were ECW, we'd be chanting: THANK YOU BUTCH VIG......THANK YOU BUTCH VIG.....THANK YOU BUTCH VIG..... (I actually tapped the period button 5 times in between like the claps in the chants)

speaking of ECW...

Remember when he attention-whored himself there?

I'm willing to bet good money that Corgan decided to get into wrestling simply because he saw guys like Goldberg and Stone Cold making millions off of merch. He was probably like "hey, I'm bald" and the rest is history. I mean, how out-of-place did he look in the wrestling world?

Ok, so I admit those last 5 or so pics are unrelated but they are relevant to my interests...

Do you think he really was a wrestling fan? Do you think he actually got trained to be in it? Shit, When he got hit, he sold less than his last album.

I don't think Corgan ever was "jaded" or moody or apathetic back in the day. I think he just finally saw that the whole apathetic movement in alt rock was profitable and decided he'd portray a character in that movement. I mean, how much more to-the-point can you get than "Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness"? The albums before that double-disc set were clearly a more psychedelic love type of vibe. There was even a very conscious effort to make the lyrics in the double-disc set reflect a in-your-face type cynicism....Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage...I'm your Zero...What is lost can never be saved...

Then try to discredit fashion victims whilst becoming one yourself.

If you really think about it, why is he so bitter now anyway? I mean, he should've known how the Pumpkins would wind up, there were plenty of signs...

Bank Account Balance:

I promise it all makes perfect sense to me now.

One thing I bet that they should never want to try again is SOLO ALBUMS.
